APORTUL ACTORILOR ÎN VIAȚA DEȚINUȚILOR ȘI IMPACTUL PE CARE ACEȘTIA ÎL AU ÎN PROCESUL DE REINTEGRARE SOCIALĂ

Abstract:

I have prepared this article in order to be published in the Yearbook of the “George Baritiu” History Institute of the “Romanian Academy” from Cluj-Napoca, so it can be raised awareness over the process of social reintegration of a former convict after he was released from prison. The interest in this subject comes as a result of my doctoral research that is being completed at the Faculty ofPolitical Sciences, University of Bucharest, which has the title: "The Romanian penitentiary environment and the social reintegration policies of detainees".Moreover, my interest in this subject is strengthened by my goal to promote equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of the status that a citizen may have in a society and I strongly believe that respect for human rights is an essential principle in a democratic state. The article describes the process of social reintegration of those former detainees with the aid of the direct involvement of direct or indirect actors who are or should be part of this process. Also, we will see who are the people the detainees rely on when they leave prison and how much they can contribute to finding a balance for the former convicts. The article offers information about the stages of social reintegration process, about the difficulties and needs a former detainee encounters once he leaves the prison.
